Is merely showing an unscheduled inflight movie on an unassigned route already considered ‘film piracy’?

as an airline consultant, i’ve learned that ‘film piracy’ has some not-so-obivous definitions & dimensions. 1) showing unscheduled films on unassigned routes. 2) logging in incorrect digital data in an aircraft’s IFE (inflight entertainment) system, i.e. flight #s/routes/film titles shown.
is this mere copyright infringement, and not ‘film piracy’ as it does not entail theft, selling or actual distribution?
would anyone give some expert and useful opinions/articles on this specific case. thank you very much.
